The Ramblin Scribe

I’ve had a few acceptances lately. Good thing. I was about to get a rejection complex and go off to a corner and throw a huge pity party for myself.

My story, The PI and the Dancer, has now been published online in the ezine, Blazing Adventures http://www.blazingadventuresmagazine.com. Guess I better warn everyone, it’s just a little bitty bit graphic. Though no really bad words, as in profanity.

A short story I wrote last year has been accepted by Amazon Shorts, and will be online in a few days. Amazon Shorts can be downloaded and read offline for $ .49. I don’t even get half of that, so you know I’m just going to get fabulously wealthy!

Several pieces I wrote for Associated Content are available for reading (free!) at http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/53226/sylvia_nickels.html. These are non-fiction, basic instruction on building ones own website.

Need to get some more pieces sent out and get back to work revising my first novel and the first draft of the second one. I’ve wasted(?) a whole month just about getting this blog/writing website off the ground. Hope it was worth it.

Well, finally. A warm, lovely April day. After two weekends of record-breaking temperatures and SNOW, even, April is acting like the spring month we used to think she was. April has always been an important month to us. Husband, birthday. Wedding anniversary. Forty-ninth, hard to believe. Both mother’s birthdays. Husband’s sister’s birthday. Plus baby brother’s wedding anniversary, one day after his wife’s birthday. Her parents wouldn’t let them get married until she turned 18. Maybe they were onto something, the marriage has lasted nearly thirty years!
I’ve been trying to get this blog/website to fly for several weeks now, figured I better make another post. Going to tweak it some more, hope I don’t break it - again.
